古典傳統

古典傳統英語:)是指後古典時期的西方世界對古典希臘-羅馬的接受和承襲[2],這種承襲涉及文字圖像物質思想制度紀念碑建築文化儀式習俗宗教等諸多方面[3]哲學政治思想神話是古典傳統現存於西方並持續發生影響的典型例子[4]。西方是被認為具有古典傳統的許多世界文化之一,其他的包括印度中國猶太伊斯蘭傳統[5]

德拉克洛瓦所做的《地獄中的但丁和維吉爾》。通過對維吉爾的引述、闡釋和再創作,但丁的《神曲》獲得了前所未有思想深度,這被認為是古典傳統持續性影響的一個例子[1]

對古典傳統的研究與古典語言學不同,古典語言學試圖恢復“古代文本在其原始語境中所具有的意義”[6]。 古典傳統的研究側重考察後世為揭示希臘-羅馬世界的實際所做的努力和“創造性的誤解”[7]。古典學家和翻譯家查爾斯·馬丁代爾(Charles Martindale)將接受古典傳統定義為一個“雙向的過程,是現在與過去相互對話”[8]
